the fbi going over immediately to start talking to them. we did not think it was appropriate for us to talk to them before the fbi conducted their interview. we did not -- i think this is accurate, sir, i certainly did not know of any reports that contradicted the i.c talking points at the time that ambassador rice went on the tv shows. you know, i want to say that people have accused ambassador rice and administration of misleading americans. i can say trying to be in the middle of this and understanding what was going on, nothing could be further from the truth. was information developing, was the situation fluid? would we reach conclusions later that weren't reached nishly -- >> do you agree a simple phone call to the evacuees would have ascertained immediately there was no protest? that was a piece of information that could have been easily obtained within hours if not days. >> senator, you know, when you're in these positions, the last thing you want to do is interfere with any other process -- >> i realize that is a good excuse -- >>
